Moules à la Crème (Sans Vin Blanc ni Pommes Frites)
Mussels in Cream Sauce (No Frites)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no frites (fries). About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Fresh mussels steamed in a rich, velvety cream-based sauce, often with aromatic vegetables like shallots and garlic. A luxurious and satisfying alternative to traditional Moules Marinières, served without frites.
Key ingredients
Fresh mussels, heavy cream, butter, shallots, garlic, fresh parsley, clam juice or fish stock, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no frites (fries). Confirm that the sauce is purely cream-based and does not use white wine (which is typical for Marinières and can add carbs) or flour as a thickener.
Watch out for
White wine in sauce (even if reduced), flour thickeners, carby sides like bread or frites.
